I’m really sorry for doing this to you. No really, I am. Sort of I’m putting you in danger of the world’s most addicting snack. If you like cupcakes, you’ll like this. If you like white chocolate, you’ll like this. If you like sprinkles… holy moly batman… you will LOVE this. PS: this is NOT dog food. Puppy Chow aka Muddy Buddies.

Ingredients

5 cups rice chex cereal (do not use crispex - i've found that it breaks easily)
1/2 stick butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream (no substitutions)

How To Make cupcake puppy chow

Step 1

Pour the cereal in a large bowl, set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, cream, and white chocolate.

Stir constantly until the white chocolate is fully melted.

The mixture will be very thick and buttery.

Step 6

Pour warm white chocolate mixture over cereal.
Step 7

Stir it all together gently, making sure not to break the cereal.

Note: You can always make the puppy chow without emulsions/extracts still maintaining a funfetti look and basic flavor.
